Falko – Thailand

Feeding them and getting a better education about elephants and ethical practices at the sanctuary was way beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful experience! Loved every second. We were with small kids, 2 and 4 yo, they were so happy with everything and the staff were so friendly and nice. We also love the video afterwards 😍

Full description

Join a guided tour of Koh Samui Elephant Home to see rescued Thai elephants in a safe and ethical environment. Help to contribute to the program's conservation efforts and walk, feed, and play with the elephants. Hotel pickup and drop-off and lunch are included.


Start your day with a pickup from your hotel or villa around the island arriving at Koh Samui Elephant Home. Meet with your guide who will offer a warm welcome and receive a welcome drink. Listen as your guide explains to you the plight of the center, and how you can help.


After your introduction, take part in the harvesting of organic food for the elephants and even get to feed them up close. Make sure to bring your camera along for some truly remarkable holiday memories. 


Afterwards, watch them as they play in the mud spa as they cool themselves down. During your tour, you'll also get to walk with the elephants into the jungle over 10 acres of land. See their real habitat and enjoy a relaxing stroll in nature. 


Continue on your journey to visit the first elephant nursery on Koh Samui. Watch as the elephants cool themselves off in the large pool, enjoying a refreshing break in the water. Guests can also participate in helping them cool down by gently spraying water using a hose, providing relief from the heat while observing their natural behaviors. 


To complete your fabulous outing, enjoy some vegetarian food and seasonal fruits whilst you watch a surprise video before being transferred back to your hotel.

Includes

  • Hotel or villa pickup and drop-off around the island
  • Professional English-speaking guide
